Dubbed “Music in Motion” the two-hour show was presented in Iligan City on April 15, Valencia City, Bukidnon on April 18, and Malaybalay City, Bukidnon on April 20, before winding up in Cagayan de Oro City on April 22. “In the week-long tour of Iligan, Valencia, Malaybalay, and Cagayan de Oro, we also conducted workshops, in which a total of 425 kids of all ages participated. There is the interest and the desire to be dancers and parents should support their kids,” said Noemi Estrella-Casiño, PBT treasurer and trustee who was instrumental in bringing the show to Northern Mindanao.
“Imagine the lead dancer in red as the beautiful caracol who directs the course of the Vinta. The chromaticare the sails, and the movements of the limbs are inspired by the Tausug Pangalay, as the oars. The short story of this ballet number is about the lady or the caracol who gets weary and wants to stop sailing, but her crew prevails upon her to press on with her voyage. And so they gather and start again. Hence, we end as we started,” noted Estrella-Casiño.
The tour also showcased performances by local dance groups, including the Octava Choral Society presenting choral renditions of Mindanao folk songs; the Kalimulan Cultural Dance Troupe and the Kalilang Maranaw Traditional Ensemble; and the Echoes Band, who mesmerized the audience with “Ulan: Blessing from the Skies” in Iligan City.
The past decades of PBT’s existence have not been easy, but had the encouragement and support of prominent personalities such as Manolo Lopez, Alfonso Yuchengco, Jose Mari Chan, Gloria Angara, to name a few of its past chairpersons.
